All eyes are on Istanbul tonight as Europa League favourites Aston Villa look to get their hands on trophy by beating Freiburg in the showpiece.
Villa boss Unai Emery is looking to lift the trophy for an incredible fifth time while the Bundesliga side are taking part in their first European final.
The bookies reckon the Premier League giants will be too strong for Freiburg but Julian Schuster's side will be looking to upset the odds.
Freiburg vs Aston Villa top betting tips
Aston Villa have been favourites to win this tournament since before a ball was kicked and they're now just 1/3 with Bet365 to get their hands on the trophy.
Freiburg are as big as 5/2 with Betway in the same market and it's hard to see them pulling off an upset if Emery's side hit top form.
Aston Villa swept aside Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals so backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time could pay off at 17/10 with BOYLESports.
John McGinn scored twice in the 4-0 rout of Forest at Villa Park and the skipper is a tempting evens at Bet365 just to have an effort on target tonight.
Start vs Bodo/Glimt
Bodo/Glimt were the darlings of Europe during their incredible Champions League run but they've been having some domestic difficulties in the new Norwegian campaign.
Kjetil Knutsen's men sit just fourth in the table heading into tonight's clash with Start, with champions Viking Stavanger already eight points ahead of them after winning eight of their first nine fixtures.
Bodo/Glimt do have a game in hand but Knutsen will know they can't afford too many slips if they're to keep pace with the leaders.
Start sit rock-bottom of the 16-team table with just four points so it's no surprise to see Bodo/Glimt as 3/13 jollies with Unibet.
Two of Bodo/Glimt's last three games have ended in 5-0 wins so I'm going to back them to win both halves at 29/20 with 888Sport.
Jens Hauge opened his account for the season last time out against Tromso and is 9/5 at Betway to grab another goal tonight.
Lillestrom vs Kristiansund
Lillestrom sit third in the Norwegian table and will fancy their chances of picking up three more points at home to struggling Kristiansund.
Hans Erik Odegaard's side find themselves in pretty much the same situation as Bodo/Glimt as they sit three points ahead of them, having played a game more.
Kristiansund are lagging behind down in 12th place and are in poor form, having gone four games without a win.
Lillestrom have won three of their four home games so far, with their only slip coming against Bodo/Glimt, so look worthy 2/5 favourites at BetMGM.
Kristansund have fired blanks in their last two outings and that makes the home win to nil appealing tonight at 2/1 with Bet365.

Man this team has put us through it but what a way to win it. We finally broke Pep and City. Had to be Arteta to do it.
City knocked out & cracked under the pressure! Head to head against City and we’ve come out on top. That’s exactly how you want to win the league, especially after our losses to City. They bottled it and we held our nerve. Simples!
Where are all those idiots with the bottles and the pundits saying we’ve lost it again ha ha. The hate from everyone makes this win so much sweeter. The whole World Cup you’ll hear about it. Premier League Champs! Get in
I’m one of the OGs here so people know how i was singing Arteta’s praises back in the day. Genius was the word & he’s lived up to it. Don’t forget this is his first managerial job. Wild! Now onto the Champions League final!
Congrats 👏 👏 👏

Palermo v catanzaro
Both teams to score + over 2.5 goals
Ladbrokes 6/5
Nap
Aston Villa v SC Freiburg
Over 2.5 goals at 1/1
Over 3.5 goals at 5/2
Finals are normally cagey affairs but with the way Villa play an early goal will open the game up. Villa only play one way so the price on goals are decent. Fully expect Villa to win and a clean sweep for all the English sides in Europe.
Prediction 1-3
best of luck
Got villa in a running outright 4 fold posted earlier this month and wait on them for a double tonight but going to throw some more eggs in the villa basket.
Villa win and over 1.5mgls
